MS}}

A Master of Science (; abbreviated MS, MSc, SM, or ScM) is a master's degree. In contrast to the Master of Arts degree, the Master of Science degree is typically granted for studies in sciences, engineering and medicine and by programs that are more focused on scientific and mathematical subjects; however, different universities have different conventions and may also offer the degree for fields typically considered within the humanities and social sciences. Earning a Master of Science degree typically requires writing a thesis.

In 1858, the University of Michigan became the first institution to award an MS; an early recipient was De Volson Wood. Provided by Wikipedia
